Overview

I come to your event with a stand up easel to draw live caricatures fast ! ( I can draw a portrait in 4 minutes or less) . Perfect for corporate events, birthday parties, church and school functions, trade shows and more, it really draws a crowd. ( I am required by the cartoon guild to include that horrible pun, my apologies.)
Caricatures by Jeff always strives to to make the client and the sitter happy- I focus a little more on the likeness, because if someone does not like how they look as a cartoon- they will want to keep. I always draw "painless" caricatures at live events.

We loved Jeff!!

Jeff, was great to work with and did a phenomenal job at my client's birthday party. I love that he communicated with me before the event to confirm the details and logistics. He arrived on time and was all set up upon guests arrival. The guest all raved about their drawings which were amazing!! Thanks Jeff!!

Highly recommend Jeff!

Incredible addition to our event

We hired Jeff for a private, members-only club event, "A Night in Paris" (he arrived wearing a beret - bonus points!). Aside from being incredibly talented, Jeff was professional, personable, and overall wonderful to work with. He drew caricatures for all the guests (and also me!), and really captured each individual's personality and unique traits. 10/10 would recommend. We look forward to having him back at the Club soon!

What to expect

I work sitting at an easel so onlookers can watch the caricature appear in front of their eyes, and typically, laugh at the sitter, who doesn't get to see until the end. Depending on crowd size, I can draw faces only, or face body background scene. I always dress appropriately and am happy to wear theme hats or costumes (if provided).

About

Professional caricaturist for 2O+ years, I work with individuals, corporations, event planners and agencies. I confirm events beforehand, arrive on time and always act in a fun, friendly, professional manner. I also draw really nice, accurate cartoon portraits, I laugh with the sitter, not at them- I have heard too many people say they got a portrait that they hated, I want the sitter & client to keep and love the drawings! I draw "painless" caricatures at live events.

I have chairs if none available, enough light that you could read by it, or provide electricity I'll bring clip lights. I prefer not to be set up directly in front of large speakers when drawing.
